Honors

The St. Cloud State University Honors College provides a dynamic interdisciplinary experience with a focus on leadership and professional development, community engagement, and sustained mentoring for highly motivated students who are academically ambitious. Our small classes and student-centered pedagogy promote discussion, cooperative learning, and independent exploration among committed learners of all identities, experiences, and learning styles. The SCSU Honors College curriculum constitutes a minor and integrates with all majors, offering a small liberal arts college experience with all the benefits of a comprehensive regional university. 

The Honors College offers two minors depending on a student’s status. The Honors Minor is a comprehensive, four-year experience for first-time college students. The Honors Integrated Minor is designed for students transferring from another institution, current students who have completed at least a year at St. Cloud State University, or for new students bringing in forty or more pre-college credits. 

For students who entered prior to Fall 2023.
